2018 GRAMMYs: 9 Things To Know About The Rock Field Nominees

Facebook Twitter Email
Heavy, loud, raucous, and intense — dig into this year's rock nominees with these crushing nuggets of knowledge
Nate Hertweck
GRAMMYs
Dec 13, 2017 - 12:35 pm

"They said rock and roll was dead," the smooth voice of Common scoffs in the latest 60th GRAMMY Awards TV Spot as video plays of contemporary guitar god and GRAMMY winner Jack White pounding and pummeling his instrument. Rock's not dead — and musicians such as White keep it alive.

The nominees in the Rock Field for this year's GRAMMYs reflect a very bright — and loud — future for a genre that refuses to stay stagnant. From newcomers who are impossible to ignore such as Code Orange, Avenged Sevenfold and The War On Drugs, to prestigious rock royalty like Metallica, Foo Fighters, and the late Chris Cornell, this year's crop of nominees are as dynamic and electrifying as the genre they represent.

The four categories up for grabs are Best Rock Performance, Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album. Peel back the layers as we look at some under-the-surface details about this year's Rock Field nominees.

1. Crushing It With Meshuggah & Code Orange

The competition for Best Metal Performance this year is literally brutal. The category's heavy-hitting street cred is exemplified by two bands nominated for the first time who are about to head out on a U.S. tour together: Pittsburgh hardcore outfit Code Orange and Swedish metal goliaths Meshuggah.

"We started the band at 14. We're 24 now," Code Orange singer/drummer Jami Morgan told Billboard. "We've grinded every year, eight months a year, in a f*****' van, just to prove our f*****' point. … So [being nominated for a GRAMMY] feels right to me. I slept easy that night knowing that the world was correct, and that's it." 

Across the Atlantic, Meshuggah have been unleashing extreme, punishing albums and live shows in one incarnation or another since the late 1980s, but they have really pushed the genre forward with their willingness to incorporate intricate rhythms into their crushing riffs. Meshuggah's persistence has paid off as the band gets their first GRAMMY nod this year for Best Metal Performance for their song "Clockworks" from their eighth album, The Violent Sleep Of Reason.

2. Nothing More Score Most Noms

Who has the most rock nominations this year? Foos? 'Tallica? Nope. Try Nothing More. The San Antonio-formed rock band features magnetic frontman Jonny Hawkins, who originally served as the band's drummer. Now stepping squarely into the spotlight, Hawkins and Nothing More are nominated in no less than three of the four Rock Field categories — Best Rock Album for The Stories We Tell Ourselves and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for their single "Go To War" — tripling their chances of taking home their first GRAMMY.

3. Metallica: Still Hardwired …

Speaking of the Mighty Met, they're back in the mix this year with two nominations stemming from their return-to-form Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, the thrash pioneers' 10th studio effort. In fact, 2017 is "the best year for Metallica in probably a quarter of a century," according to its outspoken drummer/songwriter Lars Ulrich, a fact backed by a quick look at the band's month of August alone.

With this momentum still building, a solid 36-plus years into their career, Metallica show no signs of slowing. Now James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert can add two more GRAMMY nominations to their banner year, one for Best Rock Album for Hardwired … and another for Best Rock Song for "Atlas, Rise!" 

4. The War On Drugs' Los Angeles Masterpiece

Few albums in the rock world played as well with blogs, critics and a wide range of music fans than The War On Drugs' dreamlike guitar-athon, A Deeper Understanding. Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Adam Granduciel, the Philly-based band cut the album in Los Angeles, lending a sun-drenched sadness to its songs and arrangements. Granduciel also drew influence from one of rock and roll's forefathers, the great Neil Young.

The War On Drugs: How Neil Young Inspired New LP

"We did this benefit where Neil Young played as well. He was playing his classic Gretsch White Falcon guitar with the Bigsby [tremolo bar]," Granduciel told GRAMMY.com. " I was actually sitting on his amp rig and watching him rehearse. He was just going off with [the] bar. I was like, 'Oh, it's so expressive.' I have the same guitar but mine didn't have the bar. After that show, I put the Bigsby on that Gretsch of mine. Then, two nights later, we recorded three songs that are on the record. A lot of the inspiration [came] from that expressive quality of that Bigsby."

5. Mastodon's New Heavy

Continuing their evolution on their conceptually heavy seventh studio album, Emperor Of Sand, Mastodon seek their first GRAMMY win. The Atlanta-bred band scored their fourth and fifth career GRAMMY nominations for Best Rock Album for Emperor Of Sand and Best Metal Performance for "Sultan's Curse." Despite the band's jovial nature and sharp sense of humor (on full display in their music video for "Show Yourself"), the dark themes of Emperor … are drawn from channeling the pain of tragedies that have touched their lives into healing.

"Some of the closest people to us were in the middle of some battles with cancer and some heavy-duty illness," drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor told GRAMMY.com. "If we were open and honest with everyone about what the record was about, then we knew that it could maybe have a positive impact with someone else."

6. August Burns Red, Again

The band Alternative Press calls "one of the most sophisticated metal groups operating" is back with their second-ever GRAMMY nomination, this time around for their intense track, "Invisible Enemy."

But August Burns Red proved something more this year than their staying power — they demonstrated they have a sense of humor. The music video for "Invisible Enemy" featured puppet versions of the band performing the song, which was the first single off ABR's eighth album, Phantom Anthem.

7. Much Respect To Cornell, Cohen

The great landscape of rock lost two of its peak performers in the past couple of years with the deaths of Leonard Cohen and Chris Cornell. Cohen, who gave us impossibly rich and delicately dim songs, lands a nod for Best Rock Performance for his haunting work on "You Want It Darker" from his final album of the same name.

In the same category, Cornell earned a nomination for his sincere and soulful single, "The Promise." Though the song was originally written for the ending credits of the 2016 film of the same name, it was released as a single just two months prior to his tragic death on May 18.

8. Body Count Stand Tall

One of the most recognizable names in the Rock Field is not necessarily one that the average music fan associates with metal. But Ice-T, legendary rapper, popular actor and commanding frontman, and his band Body Count, have been pumping out heavy, socially charged mayhem since 1990. This prowess is on full display in their single "Black Hoodie," nominated for Best Metal Performance, the band's first career nomination.

9. Meet Kaleo And K.Flay

You might have already heard Icelandic rock band Kaleo, whether you know it or not. The band's bluesy rumbler "No Good" was featured on HBO's 2016 show "Vinyl." Now Kaleo receive their first GRAMMY nomination for the song that brought them into the homes and phones of millions as "No Good" is up for Best Rock Performance.

Singer/songwriter Kristine Flaherty a.k.a. K.Flay dug deeper into her inner rocker on her sophomore album, Every Where Is Some Where, adding more grinding guitars and flashes of darkness to the sound of her 2014 debut, Life As A Dog. After a decade of releasing mixtapes and making a name for herself in the underground hip-hop scene, K.Flay became the first artist signed to Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynold's Interscope imprint label, Night Street Records. Now she's being recognized for her work as a songwriter on "Blood In The Cut," up for Best Rock Song, in addition to an engineering nod for Every Where … for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

Raw, aggressive, in your face. These are just a trio of adjectives that describe the slate of nominated songs for Best Metal Performance for the 60th GRAMMY Awards.

The field spans August Burns Red's incinerating "Invisible Enemy" and Code Orange's menacing "Forever" — coincidentally, both groups hail from Pennsylvania. Ice-T's Body Count are in the running for their statement against police brutality, "Black Hoodie." And there's Mastodon's powerful "Sultan's Curse" and Meshuggah's epic sludge fest, "Clockworks"

Take a closer look at seven artists who made their own personal history at Music's Biggest Night

While every GRAMMY win is special to its awardee, there's nothing quite like that first time. The 60th GRAMMY Awards saw several first-timers rise into the upper echelon of excellence, as determined by their peers.

60th GRAMMYs: What You Didn't See On TV

From breakthrough artists such as Alessia Cara, whose dreams of winning a GRAMMY came true at the young age of 21, to experienced professionals like comedian Dave Chappelle, let's take a look at seven artists who were recognized on Music's Biggest Night for the first time in their career.

Portugal. The Man, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance

Perhaps the Cinderella Story of the 60th GRAMMY Awards, indie rocker turned pop chart-toppers Portugal. The Man found themselves on stage accepting their first career GRAMMY for "Feel It Still," beating out the likes of Imagine Dragons, the Chainsmokers & Coldplay, Zedd & Alessia Cara, and Louis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber. Not bad for the Alaska-formed, Portland-based six-piece on their eighth studio album, Woodstock.

"We grew up in a small town in Alaska," said singer/guitarist John Gourley while accepting the award. "This is crazy for us. Our heroes were dog-mushers and stuff like that. … Rep where you're from, be proud of who you are and where you're from."

Lisa Loeb, Best Children's Album

It seemed like Lisa Loeb was everywhere during GRAMMY Week, from the Producers & Engineers Wing Celebration to the Person of the Year red carpet. But it was the main event on Sunday when the two-time nominee landed her first GRAMMY win. Anyone alive in 1994 will remember Loeb's massive hit "Stay (I Miss You)," which earned the singer/songwriter and her band Nine Stories a nomination for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group at the 37th GRAMMY Awards.

More than two decades later, Loeb earned GRAMMY gold for Best Children's Album for Feel What U Feel, a project with an upbeat message for kids focused on "appreciating things in your daily life, respecting other people, respecting your own feelings," according to Loeb. If the joy of giving is the greatest gift, her first GRAMMY has to be a close second.

The War On Drugs, Best Rock Album

Adam Granduciel and his band the War On Drugs achieved something special with their fourth studio album, A Deeper Understanding. Recorded in Los Angeles, the project took on the dichotomy of a sunny sound with a lonely undertone. The result was a guitar-heavy, sonically layered masterpiece that earned the band their first-ever GRAMMY nomination and ultimately a win for Best Rock Album. But the true strength of the album grew out of the time Granduciel spent on writing great songs, and the lasting impression is how — and where — they were shaped.

"I rented out my own studio in Los Angeles and tried to go every day," Granduciel told GRAMMY.com in 2017. "Whether it [was] writing on the piano or guitar or work on demos. I started eight months before [while] on the road. I just ended up having more songs than I ever had in the past."

Dave Chappelle, Best Comedy Album

The Best Comedy Album category has seen some wildly hilarious — and accomplished — winners in the past from George Carlin to Chris Rock, Robin Williams to Whoopi Goldberg. But this year's winner is no newbie. Dave Chappelle started his career in the film business in the mid-'90s before exploding onto the small screen with his edgy and hysterical sketch comedy television series, "Chappelle's Show."

Dave Chappelle's One-On-One: 2018 GRAMMYs

Chappelle's double comedy Netflix specials The Age Of Spin & Deep In The Heart Of Texas bested a formidable crop of nominees at the 60th GRAMMY Awards, including Sarah Silverman, Kevin Hart, Jim Gaffigan, and Jerry Seinfeld. The comedy legend also joined Kendrick Lamar for the show's striking opening performance, proving even the funniest material can still have message.

Mastodon, Best Metal Performance

As modern heroes of heavy music, it was only a matter of time before Mastodon earned their first GRAMMY win. The band was first nominated in the Best Metal Performance category for 2006 for "Colony Of Birchmen" from their third album, Blood Mountain. Five nominations later, the Atlanta-formed quartet earned their first win for "Sultan's Curse," the punishing lead-off track from Emperor Of Sand. While the band has previously lauded some of their favorite bands such as Neurosis, Melvins and Baroness, who were nominated in this category last year, on the GRAMMY stage they were quick to pay respect to two of their more foundational influences.

"Thank you to Judas Priest and Black Sabbath for creating this amazing style of music that we call home," said drummer Brann Dailor.

Alessia Cara, Best New Artist

While Alessia Cara gave us her full-length debut, Know-It-All back in 2015, it was in this past year that her undeniable magnetism reached a wide-scale audience through massive collaborations with Zedd ("Stay"), Troye Sivan ("Wild") and of course the song she performed at the 60th GRAMMY Awards, "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and fellow Best New Artist nominee Khalid. With all of her success coming at such a young age, the Canadian singer/songwriter hasn't forgotten where she came from.

"I've been pretend-winning GRAMMYs since I was a kid, like, in my shower," Cara said nervously, holding her first career GRAMMY trophy. "You'd think I'd have the speech thing down, but I absolutely don't. … My mind is blown"

Jeff Lorber Fusion, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album

Prolific, innovative and versatile, pianist/composer Jeff Lorber first stared his band Fusion in the '70s while attending Berklee College of Music. Lorber's innate ability to push the limits of contemporary jazz earned him seven career GRAMMY nominations, starting with his first in 1985 for "Pacific Coast Highway" for Best R&B Instrumental Performance (Orchestra, Group Or Soloist). However, it would be 2018 before he'd take home his first GRAMMY. The album, Prototype, shows Lorber at his most inventive and masterful, and it features some head-turning collaborations with the likes of Yellowjackets founding member Jimmy Haslip on bass and renowned jazz session drummer Gary Novak.

"I came up with the name Prototype because we are always trying to up our game and come up with new exciting music that could be a prototype or innovative harbinger for the future of our musical style," says Lorber.
